Feature Request: Throughput total sum

[Tuxdiver]

Could you change the throughput module to add a total sum to the metrics for graphing it in Icinga/Nagios? The values are already computed for the status line, but not as a metric.

I would create a pull request, but I don't know enough python... :-(

Do you mean the sum of all interfaces you specify with the -i parameter? You can compute that easily with Grafana or a custom PNP4Nagios template.

[Tuxdiver]

Yes, correct, the sum of all interfaces.
Agreed, I could create a Grafana template for that, but Icingaweb has a grafana plugin, which has some kind of default templates and it would be nice to be able to use them and not build a special one for that case.

Ok convinced, this would simplify things. I will add this in the next release as an additional metric.
